A Dreamy South African Getaway
May 16, 2012
Since it’s the middle of another very busy week, I thought I’d take us all on a little vacation today. I came across this stunning South African farm over at Pure Green Magazine and just had to share some of the amazing photos with you. Babylonstoren is a 200 hectare working farm and luxury vacation escape located in the heart of the Cape Winelands, about 60km from Cape Town. Many of the farm buildings date back to the 1690’s (crazy, right?) and it’s hard to believe how immaculately kept the grounds and buildings remain to this day. There are 14 guest suites available on the property and guests are free to wander as they please, join in harvesting and planting 300+ varieties of plants in the garden, enjoy the spa, or eat fresh food sourced from neighbouring farms and the garden. Sounds like paradise, doesn’t it? Take a look around and I think you’ll see what I mean…

Breathtaking, isn’t it? It’s hard to believe that such a magical place with such history even exists, let alone one that has such gorgeous vacation suites available to book! Now, if only I had that winning lottery ticket in my pocket…one day maybe! Be sure to check out even more photos of Babylonstoren on a second post over at Pure Green (understandably, there were just too many beauties to choose from) and here. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
